    Dropping the day sleep

    I'm kinda scared for the answers - but hit me with them...

    When did your DD or DS drop their day nap?

    Wow Kate, I didn't realise it was so bad you were getting no sleep at all
    DS has been through phases where he hardly has day naps for a week or two, but then starts up again. Given how crap his day sleeps were early on I'm surprised he still has them.

    DD is the same. Just when I think she is dropping them she starts back up again. She is a few months over 2 years old

    DS1 was 3 1/2 and I started dropping DS2's naps last week - he just turned 3 last month. He would still nap if I let him, but then he's wide awake when it's bedtime (8pm) which makes him silly, which sets off DS1 being silly, which means DS1 goes to sleep late (he has school) and they both wake up DD .

    We've been on that roller coaster since 20 months (so its been 8 months). Its like a mad cycle. Some days she will try to power on and won't nap, gets to 5pm and I have to physically keep her awake till a decent hour (or will completely pass out and then have to make her stay asleep all night), then she is awake at the crack of dawn and the next day requires a nap to make up for it. Other days wont nap at all and be fine. Others will nap and then be up till 10 oclock that night. It literally has driven me bonkers some weeks. I'm hoping by the time she is 3 she will have worked it out.
